VW 2020 - replacing window style

Recommended Posts

Just found this one relating to replacement of window styles:

 

1. Create a new document

2. Place a wall (unstyled) a couple of meters long

3. Switch to an isometric view in wireframe (just to make it easier to see) 

4. Insert a window into the wall:

              Example used = Standard window metric library – “Window Bottom Hung Casement

5. Select the windows and then from the OIP select:  STYLE > REPLACE

now replace the original placed windows with with a larger window (so you can see the problem):

     Example used = “Window Awning half circle 2W” from the “Custom Windows Metric” library.

and then select OK

The original window style is still visible (but displayed as a triple panel window) alongside the new replaced style.

 

6. Select the window (they both are selected as if one) and in the OIP select settings

The preview shows both the original placed window style and the replaced window style

7. Selecting the window again and then in the OIP select: STYLE > EDIT STYLE

The replaced style is shown correctly
